Well, look, we believe that people have a right to live the life that they were born to, the life that they want to. And in Illinois, anyway, we protect LGBTQ rights. We protect trans kids. Remember, In Illinois, trans athletes, we literally in high school have three trans athletes. We have 133,000 athletes in total in our high schools, and three of them are trans. Why is the Republican Party focusing on this issue? Why have they passed laws In, I think, 27 states that have restricted or banned outright trans kids being athletes in schools? (02:26–02:39)
